Structure design is, in this course, defined as design of load bearing structures Offshore.

The subject aims to teach the students to do design load bearing structures, with respect of dimensions and material quality.

Key words: analysis, drawings, etc. for fabrication, assembly, erection, maintenance and inspection.

This structures design course focus on structural steel as construction material
